And by the way, there's truth in every religion. Christians believe that there's truth in every religion. But we just believe that there's one savior. We believe we can learn truth -- I've learned a lot of truth from different religions. Because they all have a portion of the truth. I just believe there is one savior, Jesus Christ.
He would have a hard time defending this statement as he does not know what "every religion" without exception teaches. However, understanding him to mean "every religion he has studied" could this be true? Is there ANY truth at all in "cults?" Islam believes in the virgin birth, that Christ will return at the judgment with 1000s of angels, that Jesus was sinless, that He worked miracles, etc. JW and Mormons assert "parts" of the Bible, as true etc. Now I have a hard enough time keeping up with learning the truth from the Scriptures and thus find very little need to study other religions "for truth," but I also desire to be fair and not "overly" criticize someone just because I disagree with the some of his views, et. al. Can members of the board unequivocally state that there is NO TRUTH at all (without exception) in other religions? Can we state we have absolutely NOTHING we can learn from other religions?

Just a thought?
